I have been using my Tilt for a few months now with AT&T and have had very few problems. I have flashed it and tweaked it to my likings, however the other day I came upon a very weird problem. I was sent a text message by a friend but the message does not respond to any commands (delete, move, mark as read, etc) or allow me to view it. So now i have a text message which is new and unread and it is very annoying. I have pulled the battery, re-flashed it, etc without any luck.
Does anyone have any idea if this message is somehow being stored on my phone in a way i can get rid of it? Thanks for your help

So a few weeks ago while traveling, my phone freaked out in the airport. Now the phone keeps saying I have 1 new text message. When I goto the text messages section, there is nothing there.
I tried clearing all messages out (sent, deleted and inbox), did not work. I tried resetting the device. That did not work.
So I am stuck of what to do. Any suggestions?
anyone??? I have never seen anything like it before.
I suggest you use the search function of this glorious website.

Guys,
Occasionally, my phone will "delay" the receipt of text messages until I maybe unlock the phone, send another message, or occasionally clear the "Manila.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" message. When the text arrives, it shows the time it "ought" to arrive, if that makes sense.
Any ideas of any software that might cause issues like this, or something?
Cheers
About a week ago I hit delete and let it do its work over night since it was going to take forever.
First off, my Tilt only deleted the messages in the inbox, not the outbox. Then a few days later I reset my phone to check something, then ALL my text messages were back, and all of the texts that I've sent/gotten in between were gone.
Is there a certain way I'm suppose to delete this stuff?
I don't know how that happened, and I cannot think of any kind of special procedure to deleting SMS messages. What happens if you just delete like 10 at a time? Does that work?

Well the thing about that, I have over 20,000 text messages stored on my phone hah.. So doing 10 at a time would just take wayyy too long.
Whenever I hit my soft reset button, all my text messages from that day to a couple days before are gone. It's kinda weird and I don't quite understand it. But yeah, I'm just trying to figure out a way where I can delete them all to where they won't come back hah. Who ever thought it'd be so hard.
Has anyone else ever had this problem?
I can't view MMS messages now because it tells me to clear more space. I've deleted several large size mms messages off of my phone, on top of a grip of text messages to clear space, but it hasn't cleared anything. How can I fix this?
Hard-Reset
I had the same problem on my T-Mobile MDA...never did figure it out. But whenever I deleted them, they always came back. I haven't tried deleting all my texts on the Tilt yet.

I think unpredictable things start to happen when you have upwards of 20000 messages.
The other week my phone crashed and i had to hard reset it because it was carrying 47000 SMS messages, i think the problem i had was the SMS datbase corrupted when i as attempting to delete my biggest thread, with well over 6 months of messages in it.
So yeah, backup your messages if you want them and hard reset, and id try to not let messages get higer than 15000, just so the phone has space to breathe
I have the same problem with msgs that return mysteriously on my ATT tilt running the factory (att) default rom. The first time I tried it I had around 5000 msgs and I ended up having to hard reset. Right now I have around 15,000 msgs and still have the same problem (obviously haha). I'm probably gonna upgrade my rom anyway, but I just figured I'd let you know you're not the only one (and not crazy haha).

been texting a lot lately and just recently ran into a problem running. i was running into issues with the signal dropping completly and then coming back. my friends experienced the same problem so i figured it was just the area we were in. i got a sms notification for 1 unread message the other day and this is where the sms problem started.
upon trying to open the unread message the phone would hang with the 'thinking' circle. the message would open but only after almost 8 minutes. the home screen will say no new messages but when i opening the messaging program it still shows as unread. the phone will hang and become unresponsive if i try to do anything to that unread message.
i cannot send out messages either. i can write them perfectly but the phone will hang once i try to send or save as draft.
lastly, i cannot recieve messages. not sure why. none of my settings have changed. i did a soft reset and deleted the inbox.xxxxx folder on my sd card with no success.
i'd like to see if anyone has a solution to this problem before i try to hard reset. i have a non-modded att tilt running, stock wm6.1 w/o bloatware. radio had never been changed from the wm6.1 upgrade.
cliffs:
cant recieve/send sms
phone is not responsive when sending new message
backed up PIM data and did a hard reset. sms/mms was still not working after the initial reset so I reset it again restored PIM. sms/mms is working again.
Hai there. From some time im dealing with a fairly annoying issue that i can't seem to find help on google or out here. That calls for the new thread, right?
So, back to business, max of 2 weeks ago this happend to me, when you go to your messages, on the first step you have the list of all the messages you received and sent. Those with contacts will have their names, those without won't, but the thing is, that for some reason my phone is removing + from some of the message threads, instead of +353 (which is for the Ireland) im ending up with just 353. That causes message threads to loose their name (contact name) and unables me from sending txt messages to that contact/number. Yet, i can still recieve messages in that thread from the person who sent them. Ive tried deleting contact, saving it again, restarting phone etc, you know, the basic sunday fix things. Nothing has helped permanently. It just keep loosing the +. Im attatching screenshot to show you how it looks, but its fairly simple once explained. I hope that none of you have experienced it, but that some of you might know how to fix it.
Cheers!
